Calling all PANO Members!
In 2014, PANO hosted a listening tour with 20 stops engaging 320 individuals in conversations about nonprofit successes and unique challenges in various regions of the state - and how PANO might help. 10 years later (and counting), we’re still listening! And one thing we’ve heard a lot lately is the desire for more and deeper connection.
To that end, we introduced Café PANO in April 2024: a supportive space for PANO Members to come together, share experiences, and find inspiration - building a sense of community, one conversation at a time. Based on what we've learned from our first few gatherings of Café PANO in 2024, we are trying something a little different in 2025 - roughly every other month, we'll offer informal, unprogrammed time with your peers as we did in 2024 (30 minutes), and in the opposite months, we'll extend our time together to 45 minutes for a deeper discussion on a particular topic, to be identified and shared in advance. We hope this will allow folks to address those in-the-moment needs that we don't always have time to plan for as well as the need for more focused discussion around relevant themes that are popping up for folks around the state. This month, it's all about what's on your mind! Join us for some unprogrammed conversation with your peers. Got a topic in mind for a future gathering? Share it with us here, along with any recommendations for time of year for the discussion and suggested facilitators. Café PANO will meet on the following dates in 2025:
So, if you're feeling discouraged, seeking guidance, in need of a sounding board, or simply craving connection with like-minded individuals, Café PANO is the spot for you. Join us to see how we can help each other through the ups and downs of the nonprofit journey. From fundraising challenges to communications questions, from volunteer management practices to exciting new program ideas, no topic is off-limits.
The beauty of being part of this network is that none of us needs to have all the answers on our own - we are stronger together. We hope that you'll join and learn with us as we explore the art of gathering, designed with a purpose for a specific group of people (that group, of course, being PANO members!). So, PANO Members, brew up your favorite morning beverage and then let's brew up some community together!

About the Member Benefit: PANO is the statewide membership organization supporting the thousands of nonprofits that serve millions of people in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. While other associations cater to specific nonprofit trades, PANO is the only one that supports PA’s nonprofit sector as a collective whole. And THAT is the number one benefit of joining PANO – connection to other nonprofit professionals! Yes, the discounts on trainings, free Standards for Excellence resources, discounted products and services, and other benefits are great, too, but the true value of a network like this is that you are not alone. Together, we are 25,000 voices strong.
